Review: Two new Bruce Springsteen books offer all sides
By Peter Chianca
Apparently everybody has something to say about Bruce Springsteen. There's been a virtual deluge of books about the rock legend hitting the market, and recent weeks have seen the release of two more, both highly anticipated by Springsteen's fan followers.
"Talk About A Dream" was compiled by Backstreets fan magazine editor Christopher Phillips and Louis P. Masur, author of the excellent 2009 Springsteen book "Runaway Dream," and "Bruce Springsteen in Focus 1980-2012" features more than 250 shots by longtime concert photographer Debra Rothenberg. The authors come with impressive Springsteen pedigrees, but are their books truly Boss?
Talk About A Dream
"Talk About A Dream," a collection of interviews with Springsteen drawn by Phillips and Masur from his long career, may seem a little late to the party: It arrives right on the heels of Jeff Burger's similarly themed "Springsteen on Springsteen." Does the world really need two Springsteen interview collections in the same year?
Turns out, yes. Even though the two overlap a bit -- notably including Springsteen's daring 1996 interview with the Advocate, in which he made an argument for marriage equality 15 years before it was fashionable -- most of "Talk" contains material unique to the new volume, all of revealing, much of it absolutely essential.
Phillips and Masur stay mostly focused on Q&A's and direct transcripts; it's a wise choice, and not just because fans will be able to hear Springsteen's Jersey cadences and full-throated laugh in their heads as they go. He's remarkably open and thoughtful, and you can see him gradually building and shaping the themes and concerns that have marked his career -- his responsibility to the audience, the forces that drive his writing and the fact that he takes his job deadly seriously, no matter how much fun it is.
"I always come back to the same thing," he tells Ken Tucker in a 2003 Entertainment Weekly interview. "It's about work -- the work, working, working."
The book also has high-profile sit-downs with Rolling Stone, Mojo and many others, along with Springsteen's 2000s interviews with Backstreets, which helped define the motivations behind his late-career forays into electoral politics. "These are the times we're working in," he told Phillips in 2004. "And I think you've got to take your stand in them."
It's nuggets like that which help Talk About a Dream build a three-dimensional picture of Springsteen as an artist, a performer and as a man: complex, intensely devoted to his craft and his country, and -- despite some early protestations to the contrary -- eager to explain what music has meant to him, to his audience and to the world around him.
Bruce Springsteen in Focus 1980-2012
"Bruce Springsteen in Focus" isn't just a photographic achievement -- it's also physical evidence of one photographer's amazing tenacity and devotion to her subject. For Rothenberg, her lenses have been the lifeline between her and her musical hero, and it's a connection that comes through in every frame.
Rothenberg's work is more than worthy of a collection, and it's refreshing to see that "In Focus" doesn't skimp; printed in hardcover on glossy stock, the photos seem to pop from the page. It's tempting to call it a coffee table book, but that description seems too staid -- this is a book you want to leave out on the bar, or better yet on top of a beat-up old amp.
Rothenberg -- now a N.Y. Daily News shooter -- starts her collection with Springsteen on the "River" tour, bushy-haired and sideburned at 31. She religiously records tour after tour, although notably (and surprisingly) absent are the "Seeger Sessions," "Magic" and "Working on a Dream" outings.
But Rothenberg picks up again with the start of the "Wrecking Ball" shows last year, offering a peek at Springsteen's current, post-Clarence Clemons rebirth. The shots of Bruce and Jake Clemons, contrasted with the shots with uncle Clarence earlier in the book, are both joyous and melancholy.
In each instance along the way, Rothenberg finds the dynamic essence of Springsteen's live shows -- the raucous physicality, the drive, the frenetic joy. Granted, she has a photogenic subject, but she also clearly has a tremendous feel for the special moments that typify the Springsteen experience.
As for the prose, efforts by the Jersey-based contributors seem oddly aimed at the non-fan who'd need to be told which tour was which. And Rothenberg's own words are a little too breathless-fan, rather than pro photographer: I imagine that shooting a Springsteen concert presents its technical challenges, but you wouldn't know it from Rothenberg's breezy accounts.
Still, her obvious love of Springsteen as a fan just as much as a photographer helps keeps "In Focus" grounded and relatable -- Rothenberg's pictures are the ones we all would want to take, if we had her lenses, her skills and her tenacity.

Today's News: Our Take - Arrow's Marc Guggenheim: Ollie's Confidence Is Shaken
How does a superhero bounce back from getting an emotional and physical beat-down?
That's the question Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) will be faced with when Arrowreturns this Wednesday (8/7c on The CW). "We actually constructed the whole episode to explore this question," executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells TVGuide.com.
Exclusive Arrow First Look: Seth Gabel debuts as The Count
When last we saw Oliver, he came face-to-face with the Dark Archer, aka Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), who was dead-set on doing what Oliver never could: actually cleaning up the streets of Starling City with extreme and lethal action. When Oliver got in the way of that, Merlyn showed him he was the better archer by beating Oliver senseless and nearly exposing his identity.
"Oliver has never gone up against anyone who has beaten him before, particularly beaten him so badly," Guggenheim says. "Wednesday's episode is about the nature of fear and we see it play out both in terms of present day, but also in terms of the flashback."
Arrow's John Barrowman discusses the Dark Archer
For now, Oliver will lean on Diggle (John Ramsey), while Macolm's motives for being the Dark Archer are slowly revealed. "We definitely start laying the foundation for Malcolm's motivation in [next week's episode]," he says. "We even explore it further in Episode 16."
But don't expect Oliver to learn the Dark Archer's identity - and vice versa - anytime soon. "That's the bomb underneath the table for the remainder of the season," Guggenheim says. "You have these two men who are at each other's throats and it's a question of who's going to learn what first."
Arrow returns Wednesday at 8/7c on The CW.

Families Grieve Again When Messages Vanish
When her 19-year-old daughter died of injuries sustained in a Mother's Day car crash five years ago, Lisa Moore sought comfort from the teenager's cellphone.
She would call daughter Alexis' phone number to listen to her greeting. Sometimes she'd leave a message, telling her daughter how much she loved her.
"Just because I got to hear her voice, I'm thinking 'I heard her.' It was like we had a conversation. That sounds crazy. It was like we had a conversation and I was OK," the Terre Haute, Ind., resident said.
Moore and her husband, Tom, have spent $1,700 over the past five years to keep their daughter's cellphone service so they could preserve her voice. But now they're grieving again because the voice that provided solace has been silenced as part of a Sprint upgrade.
"I just relived this all over again because this part of me was just ripped out again. It's gone. Just like I'll never ever see her again, I'll never ever hear her voice on the telephone again," said Lisa Moore, who discovered the deletion when she called the number after dreaming her daughter was alive in a hospital.
Technology has given families like the Moores a way to hear their loved ones' voices long after they've died, providing them with some solace during the grieving process. But like they and so many others have suddenly learned, the voices aren't saved forever. Many people have discovered the voices unwittingly erased as part of a routine service upgrade to voice mail services.
Often, the shock comes suddenly: One day they dial in, and the voice is inexplicably gone.
A Sprint upgrade cost Angela Rivera a treasured voice mail greeting from her husband, Maj. Eduardo Caraveo, one of 13 people killed during the Fort Hood shootings in Texas in 2009.
She said she had paid to keep the phone so she could continue to hear her husband's voice and so her son, John Paul, who was 2 at the time of the shooting, could someday know his father's voice.
"Now he will never hear his dad's voice," she said.
Jennifer Colandrea of Beacon, N.Y., complained to the Federal Communications Commission after she lost more than a half-dozen voice mails from her dead mother while inquiring about a change to her Verizon plan. Those included a message congratulating her daughter on giving birth to a baby girl and some funny messages she had saved for more than four years for sentimental reasons.
"She did not like being videotaped. She did not like being photographed," Colandrea said of her mother. "I have very little to hold onto. My daughter will never hear her voice now."
Transferring voice mails from cellphones to computers can be done but is often a complicated process that requires special software or more advanced computer skills.
People often assume the voice mail lives on the phone when in fact it lives in the carrier's server.
Verizon Wireless spokesman Paul Macchia said the company has a deal with CBW Productions that allows customers to save greetings or voice mails to CD, cassette or MP3.
Many of those who've lost access to loved ones' greetings never tried to transfer the messages because they were assured they would continue to exist so long as the accounts were current.
Others have fallen victim to carrier policies that delete messages after 30 days unless they're saved again.
That's what happened to Rob Lohry of Marysville, Wash., who saved a message from his mother, Patricia, in the summer of 2010.
She died of cancer four months after leaving a message asking him to pay a weekend visit to her in Portland, Ore.
"I saved it. I'm not sure why I did, because I typically don't save messages," Lohry said.
The message was the only recording Lohry had of his mother's voice because the family never had a video camera when he was growing up.
He called the line regularly for a year because he found it reassuring to hear her voice.
But he called less often as time passed, not realizing that T-Mobile USA would erase it if he failed to re-save the message every 30 days.
"I always thought, 'At least I know it's there,'" he said. "Now I have nothing. I have pictures. But it's something where the age we live in we should be able to save a quick five-second message in a voice mail."
Dr. Holly Prigerson, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School who has studied grief, said voice recordings can help people deal with their losses.
Losing the voice recording can cause feelings of grief to resurface, she said.
But technology is devoid of human emotion.
In the Moores' case, Sprint spokeswoman Roni Singleton said the company began notifying customers in October 2012 that it would be moving voice mail users to a different platform.
People would hear a recorded message when they accessed their voice mail telling them of the move. Sprint sent another message after the change took effect.
No one in the Moore family got the message because Alexis' damaged phone was stored in a safe.
Lisa Moore finds it hard to believe Sprint can't recover the message.
"I can't believe in this day and age there's nothing they can do for me," she said.

Attacks on Christians seen as politically expedient in majority-Buddhist nation.
CHIANG MAI, Thailand, January 21 (CDN) — As Burma's military junta gears up for its first parliamentary election in two decades this year, observers fear attacks on the Christian minority could intensify.
Mungpi Suangtak, assistant editor of a New Delhi-based news agency run by exiled Burmese journalists, the Mizzima News, said the Burmese junta has "one of the world's worst human rights records" and will "definitely" attack religious and ethnic minorities more forcefully in the run-up to the election.
The military regime, officially known as the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), pledged to hold the election this year, and analysts believe polls will be held after July in the country, also known as Myanmar.
Suangtak told Compass that the Buddhist nationalist junta would target Christians particularly in Karen state, bordering Thailand, and in Chin State, bordering India and Bangladesh.
Many Christians are part of the Karen National Union and the Chin National Front, armed resistance groups that have been demanding freedom or autonomy for their respective states for decades, and therefore the junta sees the Christian minority as a threat, said Suangtak.
There are over 100,000 Christian Chin refugees in India who have fled the junta's attacks in the past two decades, according to Human Rights Watch.
Christians in Karen state are not safe. A Karen Christian worker living in the Mae La refugee camp on the Thailand-Burma border told Compass that ethnic Christians were facing human rights abuses by the junta "on a daily basis." Most recently, Burma army soldiers attacked a church, murdered a local farmer and injured others in Nawng Mi village on Dec. 19, 2009, reported Burma Campaign UK.
Parts of Karen state fall under the "Black Zone" – identified by the Burma army as an area under the control of armed resistance groups where its soldiers are free to open fire on anyone on sight – and the junta has been launching indiscriminate attacks to take control of village after village, said the Karen Christian.
"Those who are not able to flee across the border during such attacks are either killed or forcibly relocated in and confined to temporary camps set up by the junta," the Christian said. "Since the army litters surrounding areas with landmines, many local people die or get injured while trying to run away from or coming to the camps to look for their relatives."
Over 150,000 refugees from Karen and neighboring Karenni states of Burma are living along the Thai side of the border, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. More than half of them are Christian.
A representative of the Free Burma Rangers (FBR), which trains and sends teams of local people to help victims of the junta's attacks inside Burma, said youths have been forced to become Buddhists in Chin state, where over 80 percent of the people are Christian.
Printing of Bibles is restricted, and churches are destroyed on a regular basis in the state, the source told Compass on condition of anonymity.
Access for foreign visitors to Chin state is, with some exceptions, prohibited, and the state is widely acknowledged to be the poorest part of the country, said Rogers.
"According to one Chin, the reason Chin state is denied resources, and foreigners are denied access, is specifically because the overwhelming majority of Chins are Christian," stated a 2009 report by London-based advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW). "The SPDC has, it is believed, taken a deliberate decision to discriminate against Chin Christians."
The report cited a Chin Christian man who had served in the Burma army who faced discrimination.
"I had a colleague who was a Chin who became a Buddhist and he was promoted," the Christian says in the report. "I was told to change my religion if I wanted to get promotion. I refused to convert."
The report also quoted a Chin Christian as saying that students from a Christian youth fellowship at a university in Kalaymyo, in Chin state's Sagaing Division, collected funds among their own community to construct a small church.
"However, in 2008 and again in 2009, 'extremist Buddhists' destroyed the church building, and when the students reported the incident to the local authorities, the youth fellowship leaders were arrested, detained and then released with a warning," he said.
Religious Pretext
Suangtak said successive governments in Burma have promoted Buddhism since General Ne Win took power in 1962, leaving Christians insecure.
"There is a general feeling in Burma that the state represents Buddhism, and most Christians, particularly from conservative sections, cannot trust the regime," said Suangtak.
Benedict Rogers of CSW said the junta doesn't differentiate between individual Christians involved in armed struggle and ordinary Christians who have not taken up arms.
"And when it attacks villages in conflict zones, churches and pastors are often among the first to be attacked," Rogers said.
A Christian worker from Burma's Mandalay city, however, told Compass that thus far he has heard no reports of any major anti-Christian incidents there. He said he was hoping the junta would try to woo people with peace rather than violence.
"But nothing can be said about the unpredictable junta," he said, adding that it was difficult to receive or send information in Burma. "Even in cities, the information infrastructure is limited and expensive, phones are tapped and e-mails are monitored. And the press is owned by the state."
Rogers, deputy chairman of the human rights commission for the U.K.'s Conservative Party, said the Buddhist nationalist regime "distorts and perverts Buddhism for political purposes and is intolerant of non-Burman and non-Buddhist ethnic and religious minorities, including Christians and Muslims."
Of the 56 million people in Burma, around 89 percent are Buddhist, with only 4 percent Christian.
Given that the junta merely uses religion for political power, it doesn't target Christians alone, Suangtak said.
"The junta has no respect for any religion, be it Christians or Buddhists, and anyone who opposes its rule is dealt with harshly."
Burma was ruled by military regimes from 1962 to 1990; at that point the National League for Democracy party, led by Nobel Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, won the parliamentary election. But the regime seized power again by imprisoning members of parliament after the election.
Rogers, who has co-authored a soon-to-be-published biography of SPDC chairman Senior General Than Shwe, said that while the armed groups are not perfect, they are essentially fighting to defend their people against a "brutal regime" and are "not in any way terrorists."
"The armed groups have sometimes launched pre-emptive attacks on the military, but they have never attacked non-military targets and have never engaged in indiscriminate acts of violence," he said. "Even the pre-emptive acts are conducted for defensive, rather than offensive, purposes."
Rogers added that resistance groups were fighting to defend their people.
"Individual Christians who have joined the armed ethnic groups do so out of a perfectly biblical concept of just war, the right to defend your people from gross injustice."
Added an FBR source, "In Burma, no one protects except the pro-democracy resistance groups, and all relief inside the country is only possible because of them."
International Disrepute
The 2009 annual report of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom states that Burma's military junta had "one of the world's worst human rights records."
"Burma's Christian populations face forced promotion of Buddhism and other hardships in ethnic minority areas where low-intensity conflict has been waged for decades," the report states. "In addition, a new law passed in early 2009 essentially bans independent 'house church' religious venues, many of which operate because permission to build church buildings is regularly denied."
The report also pointed out that in January 2009, authorities in Rangoon ordered at least 100 churches to stop holding services and forced them to sign pledges to that effect. Burma, which the ruling junta describes as "The Golden Land" on its official website, has been designated as a Country of Particular Concern by the U.S. Department of State since 1999.
Even after the 2010 election, little is expected to change.
The FBR source said the election was not likely to be free and fair, pointing out that the new constitution the junta adopted after an apparently rigged referendum in 2008 virtually enshrined military power.
"However, having an election is better than not having one at all," the source said.

Anger Can Raise Cholesterol Levels
When someone cuts you off on a busy highway, do you pound the steering wheel in fury and shout at the driver? Or do you swallow your anger and dwell on it later?
Either way, you're not being kind to your heart, researchers say.
If you respond to every anger-inducing situation by blowing your stack or by holding it in, you could be setting yourself up for serious heart problems.
Why? It's simple. According to Ohio State University researchers, there's evidence that people who respond rigidly to anger-provoking events are likely to wind up with significantly elevated levels of artery-damaging cholesterol.
Experts suggest that the best response to anger-provoking situations is to be creative and flexible. It's important to turn off the anger as soon as possible to reduce its physiological effects.
In subjects who always reacted to an anger-provoking situation in the same negative way, researchers found levels of "bad" or LDL cholesterol ranked higher, regardless of whether they expressed the anger or held it in.
Researchers also found that those who were flexible, but who hid their anger slightly more often than showing it, had the lowest levels of "bad" and total cholesterol.
Why does intense anger trigger the release of lipids (fats) from the tissues into the bloodstream? The body releases the fatty substances for energy as part of its "fight or flight" survival response to perceived danger.
In some situations, the healthiest response is to insist quietly on your rights, which will soon defuse the anger. Still, remain under control and don't become aggressive.
Other survival-threatening situations (such as being chewed out by the boss) must be endured in silence until you can slip away to burn off the negative energy, perhaps through a brisk walk or some vigorous kick-boxing.

Today's News: Our Take - The Following: What's Joe's Larger Plan?
It seems like all the pieces are falling into place for Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) on Fox's The Following. The FBI's technology has been compromised, Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) is nearing his breaking point, and Joe's ex-wife Claire Matthews (Natalie Zea) is en route to the mansion where Joe and his followers are hiding out. Heck, Joe's even starting to bond with his son Joey (Kyle Catlett) - over s'mores, no less!
But hold on a minute. According to Purefoy, this part of the story might be only the beginning of Joe's endgame - and his "super objective" remains to be seen.
"People are beginning to realize that maybe there's a dual plan, one which they've been told about and another one," Purefoy tells TVGuide.com. "There's something much, much bigger that [Joe's] aiming towards. ... There's one [plan] for him and one for everybody else."
Spring TV Preview: Must-see new shows
But in the meantime, his followers are starting to grow impatient. "Joe has essentially told them that there is going to be something big that he's going to be doing with them, that he's going to allow them to do," Purefoy explains. "That was part of the reason that they all turned up there in the first place, that they were going to be able to explore a side of themselves that they hadn't perhaps explored before. And they're all sort of just waiting for that to happen, constantly waiting. But it doesn't seem to be happening.
"Joe is really all about Joe," Purefoy adds. "That's the trouble. That's the thing that they're finding frustrating, is that until he gets Claire and Joey together with him, that he's not particularly interested in moving on to anything else."
TV Scorecard: What's renewed? What's canceled?
So, now that he'll be reunited with Claire and Joey, will Phase II get underway? Not without a few complications, according to Purefoy. For starters, it appears that the frustration of Roderick (Warren Kole), Emma (Valorie Curry) and some of Joe's other cohorts might reach a boiling point in next week's episode. And to say these aren't exactly the type of people one wants to tick off would be an understatement.
"That's the difficulty with this whole community of people. They're psychopathic, batsh--- crazy people," Purefoy says. "They're all a bunch of absolute nutjobs. How can he trust anybody? ... Logic doesn't really play a big part in them in the way that it does for you or I. When people talk about, 'Why would they do it?' Because they're crazy. Because they're psychopathic. That's why."
The Following's Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
But while The Following is clearly a work of fiction, Purefoy says that it's important for viewers to keep in mind that the cult members' actions and motivations are not unheard of. "This is not beyond the realms of possibility. It does happen. It has happened. If you look at Jim Jones and Jonestown, he managed to get 700 people to drink cyanide right in front of him," Purefoy says. "I've listened to Jim Jones' final speech, a recording of it, and it's nothing special. Really. I wouldn't follow Jim Jones on Twitter. And yet, they did. So, although we all find it very difficult to understand why people would do something like that, it's happened."
At the same time, Purefoy notes: "[Joe] is not convincing anybody to do anything they don't want to do. ... They want to do it. They're not innocent to begin with."
The scariest serial killers in TV and movies
With that in mind, it's nerve-wracking to know that the major players at the house are feeling "a little bit jumpy," as Purefoy puts it. An emotionally unhinged Jacob (Nico Tortorella) is reeling from the death of Paul (Adan Canto), Emma's vying for Joe's affection as she tries to repair her relationship with Jacob, and Roderick finds himself clashing with Joe more and more. Does their devotion to Joe have a limit?
"[Joe's] pretty secure in the fact that Emma will do pretty much anything for him ... he thinks," Purefoy hints. "Joe has had so much time to plan this and to think about it and to get people in place. ... [But] although he claims to have dozens and dozens of people who will die for him, he starts running out of people. And he starts running out of options.
"We've got some things coming up that will really raise a few eyebrows, I can assure you," Purefoy promises. "People's eyebrows really are flying off the top of their heads."
What do you think Joe's larger plan is? And, with just five episodes left in the season, do you think it will succeed?
The Following airs Mondays at 9/8c on Fox.

One of the perennial problems of genealogical research is keeping track of paper files. As time goes by you accumulate mounds of paper, piles of paper — notes, letters, family group sheets sent to by related and unrelated people, certificates, photocopies of wills, and much much more.
How do you keep track of it?
There are all kinds of systems that are recommended, but most of them are too complicated, and too difficult to catch up with if you fall behind.
The easiest filing system I have ever seen is one recommended with the early versions of the Personal Ancestral File program (PAF). It even came with a program to support it, the Research Data Filer.
The simplest solution is this: number each document with a serial number, and file them in numerical order in a lever arch file (or, if you're American, a 3-ring binder). Use a computer program to keep track of the contents of the paper file.
The Research Data Filer had (has — I still use it!) two files – Documents (.DOC) and Data (.DAT). The document file contains a description of each document. The data file indexes the people in the documents, and allows you to enter the kind of information contained in the documents – the fields are: Document Number, Page, Name, Sex, Id, Event, Date, Place, Rela(ations), Relations Id numbers (up to 3) and Comments. For Id I use the RINs allocated by my genealogy program, since they are unique to each person.
Thus if you are looking for a person, you can search on name or Id, and it comes up with a list of the documents that contain information on that person, which you can then find easily, because you've filed them in numerical order.
You don't have to use the Research Data Filer (RDF) to index your paper files. You could use a spreadsheet or general database program, or a specialised program like Clooz. But I still find the RDF program best because it was designed for the job, and adheres to the KISS principle – Keep It Simple, Stupid. I only wish that someone would update it with a Windows version, because printing output from DOS programs with a Windows printer is a pain in the neck.
If course you can't store all research documents in a lever arch file — for example, if it is a book. The book must stay on the bookshelf. So what you put in your lever arch file is a sheet of paper with full bibliographical information about the book, and, if it is a library book, which library you found it in, and when you consulted it. You can also add photocopies of relevant pages, under the same document number.
The advantage of this system is that it is simple and easy to maintain, and you can start anywhere, with any pile, or any document. Just punch the holes, file it, and give it a number, starting with 1, or 00001 if you prefer. Some genealogy programs, like Legacy, let you include this document number in your source notes on a person.
The Research Data Filer program allows you to sort on any field. You can also "focus" on any kind of information – say a surname, and then a first name, and then a place. This is like the "filter" function in most database programs, but it is not just in the form of a report, but a view of a particular set of records that can then be edited or printed.

Any list of the highest peaks in Utah is completely dominated by the Uintas, the high Rocky Mountain sub-range running east-west in the northeastern part of the state. This list eliminates all the peaks in the Uintas so the high peaks in the state's other high ranges--the La Sals, the Deep Creeks, and the Tushars--can show their stuff.

text: Back Risks of Physical Inactivity What health risks are associated with physical inactivity? Lack of physical activity has clearly been shown to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and other conditions. Less active, less fit persons have a greater risk of developing high blood pressure. Studies indicate that physically active people are less likely to develop coronary heart disease than those who are inactive--even after the researchers accounted for smoking, alcohol use, and diet. Lack of physical activity can contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression. Physical inactivity may increase the risk of certain cancers. Physically active overweight or obese people significantly reduced their risk for disease with physical activity. Facts about sedentary lifestyles: Thousands and thousands of deaths result each year due to a lack of regular physical activity. In addition: Inactivity tends to increase with age. Women are more likely to lead sedentary lifestyles than men. Non-Hispanic white adults are more likely to engage in physical activity than Hispanic and non-Hispanic black adults.

The design of very small high quality loudspeakers involves a difficult compromise between power handling capacity, sensitivity, low frequency limit and the volume of the box, which, in the Cresta, was carefully chosen with regard to acoustical performance rather than spectacular miniaturisation. Following its release in 1967, it went on to set new standards for sound quality in a compact enclosure.
The two drive units in this system were entirely new designs, both incorporating fresh technical features. The 5" diameter B110 bass midrange unit was the first commercially available bextrene coned drive unit giving a smoothness of response unobtainable with the traditional paper diaphragms of the day. It was also fitted with a neoprene surround and nylon rear suspension, permitting very large linear excursions, necessary when handling high power.
The new T27 tweeter had a ¾" hemispherical diaphragm diaphragm of Melinex, which not only gave a smooth response to 30kHz but also exhibited a very wide polar radiation pattern. The reproduction from the Cresta system was therefore not at all directional, giving wonderfully sweet and realistic string tone and notable sharp stereo images. Cresta made a significant step forward in that it not only covered the full frequency range with low distortion but that it achieved a new standard of clarity and musicality in a diminutive enclosure.
The same B110 and T27 drivers first used in the Cresta system were famously combined also in the BBC LS3/5 broadcast monitor, which in the mass produced 'A' version developed a very high reputation and over 50,000 pairs were sold worldwide.
The cabinet was finished in Teak or Walnut veneer with a woven brown grille.

If You Want Competence, Ignite Passion
I recently read Lou Adler's interesting article on why not to hire competent people.
He has some good points, but he also misses a few key points as well.
He talks about finding out if the candidate has been excited in the past by work similar to what you're hiring them for. While that's one thing to look at, it's really fairly limited. Gauging similarities between jobs is actually surprisingly difficult: apparent similarity, like beauty, is often skin deep, while apparently different jobs often turn out to be surprisingly similar.
It's a far better approach to identify someone's passions. What gets them excited? Don't stop there, however! Now you need to find out why that gets them excited. Does your job offer similar opportunities?
For example, someone passionate about chess might be passionate because they love logical thought, challenge, strategic thinking, and the opportunity to outwit an opponent. Does your company provide some or all of those opportunities? If so, you're already on the right track to engaging their passions.
Another way to gauge someone's excitement is through your own excitement: are you excited by the work your company is doing and are you willing to show that excitement? How do they respond? Is there a spark?
If you are doing your best imitation of the PC from those old Mac vs. PC commercials, don't be too terribly surprised if the person across the table from you responds accordingly. Far too often, we ignore highly competent people who are great potential hires because we are doing the equivalent of calling sushi "cold, dead fish" and then wondering why they aren't excited.
Leaving motivation aside for a moment, how are we even judging competence? How do you know that works? Have you really identified what skills are needed on the job? Technical skills are all well and good, but if you don't focus on the much larger constellation of "soft" skills, you're going to have problems: is this person skilled at communicating? How about team work? Are you asking them to describe how they've helped their teams work together in the past?
We like to focus on technical skills because we think they're easier to assess than the softer skills. Unfortunately, even that depends on how you go about doing the assessment. Most assessments seem to be as much about making the interviewer feel good as actually measuring competence or end up defining competence much too narrowly.
A real challenge here is that most interviewers are convinced that they can tell a great deal about a candidate from a very short interview. Why is this a challenge? Because most interviewers are wrong. That's not what they've trained to do; indeed, the candidate probably has far more experience being interviewed than the average interviewer has in conducting the interview.
Perhaps the real answer here is to focus on getting reasonably competent people in the door and building an environment that makes them more competent and ignites their passions, instead of believing we can predict it all at the start.
Organizational Psychology for Managers is phenomenal. Just as his talks at conferences are captivating to his audience, Steve's book will captivate his readers. In my opinion, this book should be required reading in MBA programs, military leadership courses, and needs to be on the bookshelf of every Fortune 1000 VP of Human Resources. Steve Balzac is the 21st century's Tom Peters.

Body of Proof Producers on Season 3 Revamp: "We Wanted to Inject More Octane in the Show"
When Body of Proof returns for its third season on Feb. 5, it sounds like medical examiner Megan Hunt may be trading in her lab coat for something much more - ahem - revealing.
"It's a little silly in the high heels, I have to admit. I feel like I should be wearing a catsuit or something," star Dana Delany said with a laugh of the new season's increased action sequences at ABC's winter TV preview Thursday. "I've even had a gun in my hand a couple of times, which medical examiners don't normally do. There's a lot more action and it's a fun show to watch."
Hunt will indeed be getting more action this season as part of a larger plan to try to reenergize the ABC procedural after ratings spiked for the final three episodes of Season 2, which revolved around a serial killer. "We've decided to continue that momentum to make stories that are more thrilling and have more stakes," said executive producer Matthew Gross, who noted that now Megan and her team will not only be solving murders but also trying to stop something bad from happening. "We wanted to inject more octane in the show."
Returning winter shows: Where we left off with Body of Proof and more
One way to inject some new fire into the show? Adding longtime 24 executive producer Evan Katz. "We open the season with a two-parter that's part thriller that I think we're very proud of. There's no large animals of any kind on the show," Katz said, when asked about the possibility of a cougar appearance (a reference to a 24 story line) on Body of Proof. "There's some thriller aspect to it. It was kind of interesting to combine that with a procedural and it's not that commonly done."
Added new star Mark Valley: "I feel like there's a little 24 time clicker in the bottom of the screen."
In addition to Katz - as well as a slew of new directors, editors and even a new composer - Valley is one of two new cast additions made to the show this year after the loss of series regulars Nicholas Bishop, John Carroll Lynch and Sonja Sohn. "I've been retooled myself," Valley joked. "I feel bad for some of the people that have moved on. ... I just decided to come on and do my best."
ABC at TCAs: All the latest news
Valley will play Tommy Sullivan, a detective whom Megan was once romantically involved with. Unlike Megan's previous will-they-or-won't-they tension with Peter (Bishop), her relationship with Tommy will be much more combative. "Megan is a force to be reckoned with, and very quickly people sort of fall in line behind her," Gross said. "We wanted someone who would stand up to her."
Added Katz: "This is someone who's afraid to love. Who's afraid to let someone else have the upper hand."
Aside from adding a more explosive tension to the show, Valley's character was added to more effectively combine Megan's personal and professional worlds. "We started thinking about how do we bring Megan's personal life into the actual cases," executive producer Christopher Murphey said.
That new focus means Megan's daughter, Lacey (Mary Mouser), will pop up more at her mom's office. "In the two-parter, she's part of the plot no doubt about it. We just tried to integrate the aspect of Megan's personal life into her work and bridge the gap," Murphey said.
Look for Megan's parents to also play a heavy hand in her emotional growth (or lack thereof) this coming season when a mystery comes up related to Megan's father's suicide. "Megan begins to try to understand and come to grips with her father's suicide and how that affects her relationship with her daughter and her mother and how that changed her life," said Gross, who also noted Joanna Cassidy will be back "often" this season as Megan's stubborn mother. "Eventually, hopefully, they'll come to some understanding."
ABC announces midseason premiere dates
Although there will be serialized storytelling through the characters - i.e. this season will see Megan's boss Kate (Jeri Ryan) run for Congress - producers said they were also more focused on making every week its own event, like the more flashy Season 2 serial killer mystery. "We really wanted to look at them as separate movies, as they were. What would you do if you were going to make a pilot every episode," Gross said. "This year we wanted to give [ABC] something to promote every episode. This year it's more exiting, it's more thrilling, it's more adventurous."
When Season 3's 13-episode run comes to an end, producers promise at least some resolution. "We have a really nice end to this season that sort of revolves what happened to Megan's dad ... and, to an extent, the relationship with Mark," Katz said. "We've sort of designed in some interesting twists."
No matter what happens this season ratings-wise, the Body of Proof team sounded happy to simply have been given another chance. "It's not every show that gets the opportunity to revamp like this," Murphey said. "We're very grateful to ABC."
The new season of Body of Proof premieres on Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 10/9c on ABC. Will you watch the new season? Are you excited to see Valley join the cast?

Divide over HIV prevention drug Truvada persists
NEW YORK (AP) — It's the Truvada conundrum: A drug hailed as a lifesaver for many people infected by HIV is at the heart of a rancorous debate among gay men, AIDS activists and health professionals over its potential for protecting uninfected men who engage in gay sex without using condoms.
Many doctors and activists see immense promise for such preventive use of Truvada, and are campaigning hard to raise awareness of it as a crucial step toward reducing new HIV infections, which now total about 50,000 a year in the U.S. Recent efforts range from think-tank forums and informational websites to a festive event at a New York City bar featuring popular drag queens.
Yet others — despite mounting evidence of Truvada's effectiveness — say such efforts are reckless, tempting some condom users to abandon that layer of protection and exposing them to an array of other sexually transmitted infections aside from HIV.
"If something comes along that's better than condoms, I'm all for it, but Truvada is not that," said Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "Let's be honest: It's a party drug."
Even as gay-rights organizations celebrate collective progress in the fight to legalize same-sex marriage, the less-publicized Truvada debate has fueled bitter divisions within the gay community. Some who use the drug say they've felt shamed by some who don't, and there's now a lively backlash by users and their allies, including promotion of a "Truvada Whore" T-shirt.
"The discussion can torch emotions like a flame-thrower on a fuel depot," wrote Steve Ramos of the Dallas Voice as the gay-oriented publication reported on the debate in March.
Truvada, produced by California-based Gilead Sciences, has been around for a decade, serving as one of the key drugs used in combination with others as the basic treatment for people who have the AIDS-causing virus HIV. However, the drug took on a more contentious aspect in 2012 when the Food and Drug Administration approved it for pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP — in other words, for use to prevent people from getting sexually transmitted HIV in the first place.
Since then, critics have warned that many gay men won't heed Truvada's once-a-day regimen and complained of its high cost — roughly $13,000 a year. Truvada's proponents say most insurance plans — including the government-funded Medicaid programs that provides coverage for the poor — now cover prescriptions for it, and they cite studies showing that the blue pill, if taken diligently, can reduce the risk of getting HIV by more than 90 percent.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, medical director of the ambulatory HIV program at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, served on the FDA panel that recommended approving Truvada for preventive purposes and is among many doctors who hope that doubts about it fade.
"For folks who are having a significant amount of unprotected sex, it's a slam dunk — not only giving them protective medicine, but engaging them in testing, a whole package of regular health care," he said.
Yet Daskalakis says that out of his large clientele, only about 25 men are taking Truvada for prevention.
"There's some interesting social pushback," he said. "I've spoken to some of my patients who'd totally be candidates but are hesitant to do it. They don't want to be labeled as people on the drug because there's a social stigma."
Daskalakis is dismayed by groups like the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation — one of the country's leading HIV/AIDS service providers — which suggest that prescribing Truvada for prevention means condoning condomless sex.
"I find some of that opposition irresponsible," Daskalakis said. "If some men don't want to use condoms, they won't. You have to deal with it by acknowledging that sometimes unprotected sex happens, and you can still prevent HIV infections."
To date, preventive use of Truvada appears to be limited, due partly to misgivings among some gay men and partly to lack of awareness.
According to Gilead, 1,774 people started using Truvada for prevention between January 2011 and March 2013 — nearly half of them women. The company said more recent figures aren't available, but health officials in several cities said they see no signs of a major surge in usage.
"Out of our thousands of patients, we have about 20 on PrEP," said Dr. Robert Winn, medical director at Philadelphia's Mazzoni Center, which serves many gay clients.
"Many ask about it, few take it," Winn said. "The number one reason for that gap is the commitment of having to take it every day."
Weinstein, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation leader, takes heart from the low usage figures, saying they bear out his reservations about Truvada. He says he's undeterred by criticism of his insistence that condomless sex — even in the Truvada era — should be discouraged among gay men with multiple partners.
"There's an element in the gay community that espouses 'anything goes,' that is for sexual freedom and not giving an inch," he said. "But demonizing me or AHF isn't going to shut us up."
Another Truvada skeptic is Richard Weinmeyer, a research associate with the American Medical Association's Ethics Group. In an article in February in Bioethics Forum, Weinmeyer — expressing his personal views — argued that preventive use of Truvada could encourage sexual irresponsibility.
"Personal responsibility for one's actions has simply been thrown out the window in a community in which we are too often concerned about stigma and moral judgment," he wrote. "We dare not speak against the reckless behavior of others because we wring our hands over the omnipresent worry that we will shame one another."
The article drew some harsh online criticism; readers called it "puritanical" and "fear-mongering." But Weinmeyer raised a topic that's a visceral part of the debate — the concept of gay-on-gay "shaming" in which men using Truvada as PrEP are stigmatized.
New York psychotherapist Damon Jacobs, an enthusiastic Truvada user since 2011, has encountered the shaming syndrome as he encourages more gay men to learn about the drug's preventive capabilities. Since co-founding an informational web site called PrEP-o-licious.org, Jacobs says he's heard from men distressed by reactions they faced after broaching the possibility of taking Truvada.
"They'd email me about the names they were called — the 'Truvada whore' syndrome," Jacobs said. "They'd talk with their friends about responsible condomless sex, and they'd get shamed. They'd get seen as a slut."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers extensive information about PrEP on its web site.
"Strong research evidence indicates that PrEP, when used consistently, is safe and effective for reducing the risk of acquiring HIV sexually," it says.
However, Jacobs says other wings of the medical establishment should be more active in disseminating that message, both to gay men and to doctors.
"A lot of doctors are still under the belief that if they give their patients PrEP, they'll go out and have condomless sex," Jacobs said. "What they don't understand is that gay men are already doing that."
At the Fenway Institute in Boston — which specializes in gay, lesbian and transgender health — many doctors initially had misgivings about PrEP, but have overcome them, according to Dr. Kenneth Mayer, the institute's medical research director.
"There definitely were apprehensions at the beginning — would it increase risk-taking behavior, would people take it regularly," Mayer said. "More recently, the questions are not whether it's a good idea, but the optimal way to provide it, and which patients are the best candidates."
"I don't have an issue with people voicing concerns about it, but we have proof it works," said Mayer, who hopes high-level federal officials get more involved in the public discussion.
Another challenge is raising awareness of PrEP in black communities with high HIV infection rates.
"We have young minority men becoming infected at disproportionately alarming rates, and now we have something that could avert this," said Lynnette Ford of GMHC, a New York City AIDS service organization. "But there's not a lot of information out there in communities that need it most."
Demetre Daskalakis, the Mount Sinai doctor, said the Truvada debate recalls the way birth control was viewed in some quarters in the 1960s — as an accessory to promiscuity.
"Anyone who takes Truvada, someone is looking at them and saying they're licentious," Daskalakis said. "When this becomes more normalized, we'll be fine."

Major improvements for 2019!
By Horsacourse on Monday, July 29, 2019I traded up from a 2017 (which was already a great truck!) to a 2019 and wow what an improvement! I have the 5.3 with 8 speed tranny, which is smooth shifting, super quiet ride, etc, etc. Chevy as the controls and buttons all figured out nicely for easy of use. The backseat of this crew cab is even bigger than the previous model; its so big the kids can almost play football back there. Definitely another great value from Chevy. Minor irksome points include the goofy tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The previous model had a simply stalk that allowed easy up/down but the 2019 uses a goofball 'Japanese style' system, which is ery annoying and cumbersome to use. Also missing the ashtray (not for smoking but for storing small items like trailer keys, chapstick, and stuff). Also, they took away the third cup holder in the front/center, which is also annoying since I always have two different drinks while my passenger also has her own. But everything else is awesome and absolutely love this truck!

MILAN – There's an inherent message in Burberry Prorsum's menswear collection for next spring and summer. Slow down.
Designer Christopher Bailey isn't trying to hit anyone over the head with the thought. It's more by example.
CHICAGO – Medicare crises, looming doctor shortages, more patients without health insurance. And that doesn't even count the big changes coming from a revamped health care system.
It's a troubling time for doctors as they gather for the annual American Medical Association meeting.
PHILADELPHIA – Martha Stewart's media aspirations just got bigger: Meet Martha Stewart, comic-book heroine.
The woman who created her own media empire – television, magazines and more – is getting a biographical treatment in her own comic book next month.
ASCOT, England – Christina Osborne has a system for winning at Royal Ascot, the five-day horse racing event that is one of the highlights of England's glittering if brief summer social season.
The American in London doesn't bother with the odds, the bookies or the data-packed Racing Post. She just picks the horses with the cutest names.
TORONTO – Lots of rain in many parts of the country means that grass is growing like, well, a weed, and some Canadians may already be getting their fill of cutting it. But that doesn't mean lawn mower operators should be lax when it comes to safety, which is still essential to help prevent injury.

Lawn mower accidents can cause serious injuries to legs, arms, fingers, toes or other body parts. Between 1990 and 2006, a total of 1,161 patients visited Canadian hospitals for lawn mower-related injuries, according to Health & Safety Watch.
VIDALIA, Ga. – They've started fistfights and court battles, been romanticized in country songs and counterfeited by bootleggers. Their trademark sweetness has made them a coveted ingredient in recipes from salads and relishes to cookies and muffins.
If a museum dedicated to onions sounds rooted in folly, the history behind the famous Vidalia onion can likely hold its own with other veggie shrines such as the Idaho Potato Museum, the Red River Valley Sugarbeet Museum in Minnesota and the tiny Carrot Museum tucked in a Rhode Island bed-and-breakfast.
OTTAWA – Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq is confirming that she intends to further restrict the way medical marijuana is grown.
She wants to take individual growers and Health Canada out of the business of producing the drug, and instead grant licences only to commercial operations.
OTTAWA – Health Canada is reviewing the status of the diabetes drug pioglitazone after studies suggested the medication may increase the risk of bladder cancer.
Pioglitazone, sold in Canada under the brand name Actos as well as in generic forms, is used alone or in combination with other diabetes drugs to control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise have failed.
Nothing says summer like ice cream and these walnut ice-cream bonbons are a perfect treat that is sure to make kids and adults alike smile.
Lollipop sticks can be purchased at bulk stores.
Next time you arrive home from work feeling famished, this Thai tuna and quinoa dish can be ready in a snap.
Quinoa Thai Tuna
Devilled eggs are a classic accompaniment to summer picnics and barbecue. But they generally are loaded with fat and calories from the egg yolks and mayonnaise.
We set out to remake the filling to be flavourful, yet pack significantly less guilt. Egg yolks do have great nutritional value; the majority of an egg's vitamins and minerals are actually found in the yolk. But along with those nutrients are plenty of fat and cholesterol.
ATLANTA – The gap in cancer death rates between college graduates and those who only went to high school is widening, the American Cancer Society reported Friday.
Among men, the least educated died of cancer at rates more than 2 1/2 times that of men with college degrees, the latest data show. In the early 1990s, they died at two times the rate of most-educated men.
ATLANTA – A new study shows one in four high school studentsdrink soda every day -a sign fewer teens are downing the sugary drinks.
The study also found teens drink water, milk and fruit juices most often – a pleasant surprise, because researchers weren't certain that was the case.
OTTAWA – The federal government is poised to tighten the rules on medical marijuana so that only licensed private operators are allowed to grow it, The Canadian Press has learned.
Sources say Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq wants to take individuals and Health Canada out of the business of growing pot.
Yes, indeedy, that guy in the Porsche or other jazzy, high-priced set of wheels is definitely an eye-catcher. But any woman seeking a long-term relationship should let this dude keep on driving, no matter how tempting his ride makes him seem.
That's because such flamboyant spending seems to be driven by the desire to have no-strings-attached romantic flings – not marriage or other committed partnerships, a series of four studies by U.S. researchers has concluded.
WACCABUC, N.Y. – "Try it. Go ahead, stick your finger in!"
The dollop of spicy hot-pepper paste is hard to turn down, coming as it does from the blender of Jean-Georges Vongerichten, one of the best-known chefs in the world, not to mention the owner of 31 restaurants and the man known for basically revolutionizing fine dining in New York.
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The resort season is not a time for fashion to take a vacation. Resort collections, which hit stores during the all-important Christmas holiday shopping season, are a growing part of designer businesses as consumers move toward styles they can wear year-round.
The idea that people fully switch their closets between seasons is outdated, agrees Ken Downing, senior vice-president and fashion director for retailer Neiman Marcus. Shoppers want clothes they can wear the day they buy them, he says, and resort wear typically meets that demand.
OTTAWA – Stroke victims in Canada don't get to hospitals quickly enough – and even when they do they can still wait hours for treatment, says a major study released Thursday.
The report by the Canadian Stroke Network suggests neither victims nor hospital staffs treat strokes as serious medical emergencies.
TORONTO – Almost 40 per cent of teens who answered a questionnaire about their sexual knowledge said the Internet is more useful than parents in providing this kind of information.
And almost one-quarter of respondents rated the Internet higher than their high school sexual education classes.
The goal was a simple chicken casserole that had the rich, satisfying flavour of a lasagna.
Actually, that's a lie. The goal was a chicken roulade – a dish in which chicken breasts are pounded flat, then slathered or layered with some sort of filling, then rolled into a log and roasted or braised.

Other styles are fitted: they hug your body and stretch to move with you. A small number of pieces in our line have a relaxed, but not baggy fit. Fit preference is totally personal!
To keep your Brooks gear looking and performing its best, machine wash separately before wearing, try not to use fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat.

Introduction to San Francisco Examiner Archive
Searching San Francisco Examiner Archive
Search and browse are the two best ways to find what you are looking for on San Francisco Examiner Archive.
When you have a name or other keywords to find, let the search comb through the millions of news pages to help you locate what you are looking for. All the pages on San Francisco Examiner Archive have been indexed using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This means that a computer has tried to identify the words on each page and produce a digital version to search. When the image is clean and in good condition, this process is very accurate and can make searching papers easy. For older papers or other papers where the image is less clear, the OCR processing may miss important words or read them incorrectly.
You can search from the home page or by clicking the "Search" link at the top of most pages of the site. Type the name or other words you want to search for in the search box. A search will look for pages that include all the terms you put in the search box.
You can use quotation marks (") to narrow your search to results that exactly match your search and/or to limit your results to matches where the terms are right next to each other (i.e. "Eli Whitney" or "Washington Monument")
Search Results Page
On the search results page you can use the left column to narrow your results by time period, location, or to a specific paper or papers.
In the results column you'll find a small image (thumbnail) of the page with the matching text highlighted and information about the paper it come from. If there is more than one match on that page or another page in that edition of the paper, you'll see arrow buttons that you can use to look at the next and previous matches. You can use this preview to evaluate the matches and verify that the OCR has identified the words correctly.
Clicking the thumbnail image or the linked newspaper title will take you to the viewer to see the full page.
Browse documents with the San Francisco Examiner Archive browser
When you just want to look at events for a particular date, or searching hasn't helped you find what you are looking for, browsing can be a good way to get into the papers. You can browse the site by clicking the "Browse" link at the top of most pages and following a path through country, state, city, newspaper and then on to date. Or you can go to the "Papers" page and use the left column to browse newspaper titles by name, location, or time period.
At any point in the browse process you can use the brown Search within box at the top of the page (or the "Search within these papers" box on the Papers list page) and search within just the papers in the group you have selected.
